It's been a few days now, and I hardly even miss it. Something else will take its place, I'm sure. Just gotta keep on keeping on
It's surprising how okay I am sans Tiktok. It'd been my go-to fidget & stress relief for years now, & I'd found so much community there.
But when it's time to go, it's time to go.
I'm plenty busy without it, anyway- day job, painting class, writing class, garden planning, house renovations, etc...
heavily limit my phone usage and like... Just send me a damn carrier pigeon I cannot stay digitally accessible anymore or I will lose my damn mind."
Everything is screwy in the world and texting is hard and anxiety-inducing tbh
Somehow, I went from the sort of person who texts back immediately at all hours to the sort that needs 3-5 business weeks to scrape together a reply.
By "somehow" I do mean "the constant bombardment of bad news is so inescapable that unlocking my phone sends me on a doom scroll spiral & I need to
I wonder which Greek god Tony Hawk offended because people's issues recognizing him are like if Cassandra did kick flips instead of premonitions
I hope all of you find someone whose Weird matches yours, 'cause, it's pretty fucking great
I've been taking care of my invertebrates for years now, and now they're helping me grow food (some of which will in turn be fed back to them) and I dunno, it's weirdly satisfying.
Anyway insects can be really rad, achieving a symbiotic relationship with my pets has been fascinating, & most of all
But also. Us being arthropod enthusiasts has genuinely made this lil foray into gardening sooo much easier. The bags of worm castings I keep on hand for my isopods? Now also boosting my soil. The mealworms I raise to feed my tarantulas? They Also produce a pretty effective fertilizer.
It was delightful. I am delighted. I feel so damn lucky π
Forever grateful that my fiance is also a Former Weird Bug Kidβ’ (now a Weird Bug Adultβ’) like I am... At their suggestion, I just treated our garden with ladybugs to combat the aphids eating our eggplants, and was blessed with the experience of having my hands and wrists covered with the lil ladies.
I have been *dying* for an A1 Finnish workbook.
Instead, I've gotten my hands on an A2-B2 one- the only one I could find.
I am now bare knuckle boxing my way through understanding consonant gradation and case endings but my gods I am going to understand Finnish grammar even if it ends me

I've been wanting a pair of Flamingos for so long aaaaa
The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.
The perfect bird feeder doesn't exi--
Image is a still of Disney's Snow White with her face pressed against a window in an unflattering way. The image has the text "pakidge" overlaid in white
I have several pairs of Pleaser shoes and a second standing garden bed all set to arrive today so this is emotionally where I'm going to be for the next several hours
A job search app's goal should be to have its users uninstall it, because that means it's succeeding. Like Hinge, but for surviving the horrors of capitalism
Honestly the Indeed app giving push notifications for me not looking "in a while" is wild like I'm not looking because I've landed one of my dream jobs like WTF do you mean I should come back and see what's in my area
Anyway thanks for the reminder to uninstall you, Indeed
Doing house demolition while the theme from Ouran High School Host Club plays is weirdly cathartic
Last night I did a holiday spin on my Godzilla act. The city buildings were made to look like gingerbread, candy canes, and chocolate. Here's the aftermath π this was so fun!

I find it so funny when people are like, βI like Lin-Manuel Miranda, I just wish he werenβt so corny.β Like, what do you think the #1 requirement for a composer of musical theatre is.
An extremely cute sleeping tabby cat
Look at this cutie
In me are two wolves:
The first thinks it would be funny to use "Last Christmas" as their song choice for one of their upcoming holiday shows & sending folks to Whamhalla en masse.
The second recognizes how morally questionable such an action would be & is barely restraining the first.
o no

A Complete List of People My Partner's 13 Year Old Cat Likes:
1. My partner, who raised her from a kitten
2. Me, somehow
That's it. Literally no one else.
She will not tolerate being pet by anyone else. She will bite.
Obviously we can't ever break up. The cat chose me
